Import Evolution Calendar to Palm Pilot?

[Sean Carlos]

Has anyone been able to import a calendar in Evolution into a Palm Pilot 
  using FC5?  If so, using which tools?

I can import tasks and contacts, but the calendar is ignored when using 
the standard gpilot app.  I also tried multisync + libopensync from 
extras, but it is not at all clear how to get the Palm plugin to 
recognize the pilot.

You can either sync your palm against Evolution (GNOME) or against
kpilot/kpim/kmail (KDE).

The problem is Evolution's calendar.  The contacts and tasks sync works, 
but not the calendar.

Seems to be working just on my FC5/x86_64 machine.
Are you using the latest RPMs?
Which Fedora are you using?

FC5, updated:

rpm -qa | grep "evolution\|pilot" | sort

evolution-2.6.3-1.fc5.5
evolution-connector-2.6.3-1.fc5.1
evolution-data-server-1.6.3-1.fc5.2
evolution-data-server-devel-1.6.3-1.fc5.2
evolution-sharp-0.10.2-9.5
evolution-webcal-2.4.1-3.4
gnome-pilot-2.0.13-7.fc5.6
gnome-pilot-conduits-2.0.13-3.FC5.3
gnome-pilot-devel-2.0.13-7.fc5.6
jpilot-0.99.8-3.fc5
libopensync-plugin-evolution2-0.18-8.fc5
pilot-link-0.11.8-12.4.fc5
pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-12.4.fc5

I can enter an appointment in the Jpilot app and export it to the pilot, 
so the problem appears to be limited to evolution in some way.

I'm using a newer gnome-pilot-2.0.13-7.fc5.7.
AFAIR I used a the .6 SRPM, added a patch and compiled the RPM.
I've added a comment in this bug:

Have you enabled the calendar conduit using the configuration applet?
When you say the calendar sync 'doesn't work', what do you mean?  Does
gnome-pilot crash, or silently skip it, or what?

By the way, there are better places to ask this question, such as
gnome-pilot-list, or evolution-list (see
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo)
